Geunheung Trip

Great location and friendly staff

Great location, just cross the street to get to Myeongdong shopping street and night market. Subway station was also just a 5 min walk away. The Lotte shopping center was also across the street. The collection of stores there were only high end ones like Gucci but it did have a great food court downstairs. Btw, you can get to the food court by taking the underground shopping stairs right outside the hotel which enters directly into the food court. It was also great having a self serve laundry in the hotel although there were just 2 washers and 2 dryers which filled up a lot. The machines took only credit cards so no need to hassle with coins plus there's a machine to purchase laundry detergent and bounce dryer sheets as well also via credit card. We had a triple room and the strange thing is there was no drawers to store clothes so we had to use our suit case and the shelf in the closet. Individual bottles of water were also provided each day for free. To get to the hotel we used the airport K-limo bus which has a stop at the Westin across the street but if there are 3 or more of you take a taxi has it costs about the same or cheaper.

The location is few blocks from Myeong Dang and feels safe to walk to the evening bazaars. The room is small. Hardly any space to walk on the side of the bed. I had to get on bed from bottom of bed. There is really no lobby. There is no coffee facility in room either. The check out time extension is charged by the hour. If your visit falls on Sunday and Monday no museums are open and they can not book you for DMZ due to marathons etc. That is what the only one person at desk told me. She did not know much about town or events.

This was the perfect place to stay during out few days in Seoul! The room was modern and clean, and the daily amenities were wonderful. The breakfast buffet was also a pleasant experience, and they held out luggage after checkout, which was very helpful. Will definitely book again!

The room was clean, staffs were so nice, and the breakfast buffet was delicious. Really enjoyed the stay. Very close from Guro digital station(line2) -5mins on foot. Airport limousine bus was also very nearby 2-3mins walking distance. Highly recommend Shilla stay!!!
